Braised Chinese Cabbage

This refreshing and vibrant Sichuan-inspired vegetable salad is a perfect balance of crisp textures and bold flavors. Thinly shredded cucumber, carrot, dried tofu, and Chinese cabbage create a satisfying crunch, while blanched bean sprouts add a tender bite. The dish comes alive with a fragrant chili oil infusion—made by frying dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns—then blended with June fresh soy sauce, tangy vinegar, a hint of sugar, and nutty sesame oil for a mouthwatering dressing. Topped with fresh scallions and garlic, every bite delivers a harmony of spicy, savory, and slightly sweet notes. Quick to prepare yet packed with layers of taste, this versatile salad pairs beautifully with rice or makes a standout side dish for wine gatherings. A must-try for lovers of bold, aromatic flavors!
